Hepatica acutiloba
Sharp-leaf Hepatica |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.260.500
This spring-flowering woodland perennial is native to the Eastern part of North America. The plant forms a low clump of leathery leaves divided into three lobes. Small cup-shaped blooms appear almost daisy-like, with petal-like bracts ranging in shade from pale pink or lavender to white. The blooms last for nearly the entire spring season. Plants prefer shady conditions and rich, moist soil but adapt fairly well to dry shade. Increase this by division after blooming or in early autumn. Plants dislike being disturbed. More or less evergreen with new leaves produced at blooming time.
